A new 5mm domed fluorescent pink dscrete LED that maximizes the creative options
available to engineers and designers alike has been announced by LEDtronics. The
InGaN 5mm device is described as 'fluorescent orange-ish / pink' with optical
grade epoxy produce 80mcd illumination with 180 degree viewing angle at 20mA that
is visible even in direct sunlight. The 5mm Pink LED features sturdy leads for
reliability in wire-wrap / through-hole PCB applications.

Solid-state design renders LEDs imperious to electrical and mechanical shock,
vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average life
span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), 5mm Pink LEDs operate reliably year after
year and appropriate for many applications. They can be used as individual pixels
in a large dot matrix screen, full-colour screens, moving signs and displays.
More diverse applications for 5mm Pink LEDs include light colour synthesis.
Other applications include medical imaging and biomedical instrumentation, car
dash lights, tele-/data-communication equipment, cellular telephones, PDAs,
machine vision systems, and colour recognition and calibration systems - any
application that requires a bright reliable LED, says the company.
